Build a brain for just sixty bucks.

By Craig Harris

Just as Nintendo's prepping its Brain Age game for the DS during "Brain Awareness Week," so is third-party publisher Pocket Direct with its own non-game handheld product: Pocket Professor KwikNotes, shipping today.

Pocket Professor KwikNotes covers several school subjects, and claims it can help comprehension of Basic Math, Algebra, Geometry, English, Computer Basics, Geography, American History, World History, U.S. Government and Sciences including Chemistry and Physics.

With this product, students can see animations of the four phases of cell division, three-dimensional rotations of geometric shapes or have access to the Periodic Table of Elements. They can bookmark up to 60 pages of specific information they would like to have immediate access to at a later date. Pocket Professor computes hundreds of conversions automatically, including fahrenheit to celsius, grams to ounces, kilowatts to horsepower, liters to gallons, pints to gallons and more.

Pocket Professor also helps with the pronounciation of difficult phrases including "carpe diem," "fait accompli," "faux pas," and many more and gives definitions of foreign words and phrases commonly used in the English language.

This non-game won't come cheap. Pocket Professor Kwik Notes, a standard GBA cartridge, lists for $125, but it's been knocked down to $59.99 as an introductory offer on its website at http://www.pocketprofessor.com/.
